Affiliation: Berserkers

Official English

The champion of the underground pro wrestling scene in Ikebukuro. He was summoned from the world called Shangri-La to immediately be sold in illegal Transient auction. He was traded like merchandise but then killed his abusive Summoner and escaped, becoming a Stray Transient. Because he respects individuals who rely on their physical strenght, he detests those who use underlings to fight their battles.

Translated from Japanese

Though Claude is the leader of the Ikebukuro Berserkers, Macan Gadungan is their strongest member, and reigning champion of the underground arena. He was first summoned to Tokyo from his own world, Shangri-La, by a trafficking group targeting denizens of the gate worlds. Put up for auction, he was sold as a slave. But one day he slaughtered his captor and escaped, becoming a stray summon. To Macan, the greatest insult was not servitude, but being ordered around by a weakling. As he believes respect can only be commanded through strength, there is nothing he hates more than a leader who claims their right to lead through mere 'authority'.

Translated from Japanese

Macan's Sacred Artifact, his loincloth, fills him with boundless energy, allowing him to fight on and exert physical strength well in excess of normal limitations. But as a drawback he suffers intense hunger and requires huge amounts of food, and enters a primal, animal-like state of berserk fury when he becomes too excited. To Macan, to eat a strong opponent, or be eaten by a strong opponent, is the most precious act in the world. He feels a sense of camaraderie with a fellow tiger guildmate.

Translated from Japanese

Champion of the Ikebukuro Berserkers. Even as a prisoner his craving for battle knows no end. Should a fellow extend their hand to the tip of his nose unprepared, they could lose their flesh and blood to his fangs. And if you have only common chains, there is no hope of tying down this violent tiger. Indeed, Macan is tied down by a chain Sacred Artifact by the will of a certain guild master. Its power is like that of flames, dragging in all who hold faith down with it. The reason he is concerned with eating flesh and blood lies in his past, originating from his isolation.

Notes

His full name is Macan Gadungan (マガン=ガドゥンガン).

In Indonesian folklore, the Macan Gadungan is a type of tiger monster. Though their nature varies a great deal from telling to telling, they are typically cursed humans who spread their curse to others that survive being attacked by one, similar to the western werewolf.

The word used for the term eat in Macan's profile is 喰う, and can also be a vulgar slang term for "have sex with" or "defeat", but given Macan's personality these three interpretations might be interchangeable.
